  13. Leicester Memories Graham Hulme · Old postcard view of a busy Humberstone Gate, possibly late 1930s. On the left, at the corner of Haymarket, is the tobacconists shop of Salmon & Gluckstein Ltd. The slightly taller building beyond the corner was the Tower Vaults and after that was the Stag & Pheasant Hotel. These buildings were demolished in the 1960s to make way for the Littlewoods building which contained a new Littlewoods store, opened by the local MP Sir Barnett Janner on 17th May 1967 (now the TK Maxx store). On the right of the picture, at the corner of Gallowtree Gate, is the store of Burton’s the tailor which was opened here in July 1928 (the building is now an HSBC bank branch). The store was designed by Harry Wilson of Leeds who was a chief architect to Montague Burton's vast tailoring company and he designed many of Burton's buildings around the country. The premises of the wine and spirit merchant John Allen & Co. had previously stood on the site for many years. Unmissable beyond Burton’s is the bulky edifice of Lewis’s department store. Lewis’s opened their new store here on Saturday 21st March 1936 when thousands of people gathered in Humberstone Gate to witness the event. The Lord Mayor of Leicester, Richard Hallam, declared the building open and the opening ceremony was broadcast to Lewis’s other stores across the country. Outside, a fanfare of trumpets sounded from the roof on the opening and flags unfurled from flagstaffs. Around 20,000 people were said to have poured into the new building in the first hour after the opening. The store, Lewis’s seventh, cost about a quarter of a million pounds to build and was designed by Gerald de Courcy Fraser of Liverpool, who was architect to the company. The chairman of the company, Harold Cohen, and the full Board of Directors attended the opening, including Sir Frederick Marquis, joint managing director together with Cohen. Sir Frederick Marquis was to become chairman of Lewis’s a few months later on Cohen’s death (Sir Frederick was subsequently made Earl of Woolton and in political life he was Minister of Food from 1940 in the wartime government - in this capacity he was responsible for food rationing and the famous “Woolton Pie” was named after him). A large extension was added to Lewis’s store towards Charles Street and the Manchester Working Men’s Club in the mid 1960s. The store closed down in January 1994 and was demolished, except for the 160 feet high tower, during the summer of that year.
